Klaassy23	11
Lefunnymaymays4lief	11	(-2) Worst spot and week to have a bye so far. Even still TTU has just been playing some pretty uninspired football before that. Outside of that awesome game with Houston, it’s been joyless… uhh, manslaughterball? Recklessendangermentball? QB still is a question mark, and while the talent on the rest of the team isn’t, there’s something there that just feels… off about them

Maladroit44	18	DNP this week. Texas Tech's schedule is undeniably pretty week, but depending how you look at the Big 12, almost everyone probably sees one or two meaningful tests in their next six games: vs ASU, at Cincy, vs UA, vs WVU, at OSU, and at BU. As an objective observer with no skin in the game, that trip to Stillwater looks like the big one to me, but a Halloween date with Arizona (who I currently have a single spot below TTU) will be worth watching too. I believe this can be a playoff contender, but they've gotta prove it to me in those matchups.

twitter_paulbd	20	Undefeated N2 seems pretty even with Utah resume wise, so giving them higher rank because of talent.
